Hello! My name is Lissanne
Lake. I have been a full time freelance illustrator for well over
thirteen years now. I earned my bachelor of arts in illustration,
then went to work in advertising in New York for several years.
Since turning to freelance illustration,
I have done over eighty book covers, including covers for best-selling
authors such as Terry Pratchett, Thomas Disch, Raymond Buckland & Scott
Cunningham. In addition to color paintings for companies such as
TSR, Doubleday, Wizards of the Coast and Harper Prism, I have done
numerous paintings for such things as magazines, product boxes, posters,
etc.
I have had my works displayed in the usual
gallery shows, including the big Olympia & York show in New York, and
have won the usual amounts of awards & best-of-shows, including at
Worldcon.
As a collectable card artist,
I have done well over three hundred cards for various games, including
Doomtown, Legend of the 5 Rings, Legend of the Burning Sands, Rage, Mythos,
Middle Earth, and Galactic Empires.
To relax, I have been studying
Italian rapier fencing for the last ten years, using full weight weapons.
I am also a lifetime gamer, and play a variety of card games. I have even
been known to win a few tournaments.
I have recently completed the
paintings for a tarot deck designed jointly with Raymond Buckland, to be
published by Llewellyn books in November 2000.
